Windows Vista to launch with some swanky hardware devices from Microsoft

Microsoft's hardware division is at it again and this time they're pulling out all the stops with their latest product. The company
has unveiled a new teaser campaign on its site that showcases "The
Ultimate Keyboard."

The new Bluetooth-based wireless keyboard is aimed at making
your Windows Vista experience even more pleasurable with such features as a
backlit keyboard with ambient light sensor and proximity sensing to power down
the lighting when you leave the room. Even more impressive is the included pad
that charges your mouse when not in use. It's probably using some kind of induction charging system
similar to what's used in A4Tech's
BatteryFree Mouse. The ergonomic keyboard also features a host of media
buttons and controls to take advantage of Vista's multimedia capabilities and
has a 30 foot
range. But for all its features, the new keyboard ditches the traditional numpad that most have grown accustomed to.

Microsoft's latest and greatest features premium grade plastic
construction along with metal accents to liven things up. The Ultimate Keyboard
is sure to have an ultimate price once it's released; likely around the same
time that Vista hits store shelves.
